MG34 semi auto range test

I finished this build a few months ago and wasn't able to test it till last wek. I had problems with it cycling fully. There were a couple of tight spots in the receiver that needed a little more attention. after getting the bolt to run smooth I took it out today and ran a couple hundred rounds through it. it runs romanian surplus fine but has problems with the 50's yugo ammo. the primer hits look good but there are a lot of misfires with it

it was a lot of work, but easier than the 42 as the conversion part was already figured out and I used TNW's semi parts. the jig I made to do the reweld held the parts perfectly aligned and there was no warping or distortion. it took several hours to get the bolt to run smooth, but the rest was pretty easy.

pirate56,
You always make the tutorials look so easy. If you have the right tools and patience, that's half the battle. I did not want to make this my first welding project, so I had the receiver done by someone who knows their way around a welder.
